Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I have more of a numbness rather than pain and it occurs all the way down my legs and into my feet usually when in the sitting position. Then after sleeping I wake to the back of my calfs hurting like I had been running all night.

Well I usually am asleep within 10 mins of hitting the pillow and don't wake again till morning or my good old fiend IC bladder tells me to wake So for me to get only 3-4 hours and it taking over 2 hours to finally fall asleep and not really be sleeping like I normally do is not good.
